September alternative birthstone gem. The natural Lapis Lazuli chips fill a glass bottle that is 16.1mm in diameter. The top is a gold plated stainless steel cap with a loop bail and jump ring and the bottom is a matching gold plated steel pointed cap. The total length from the top of the bail to the bottom point is 2.33 inches long.
This pendant weighs close to an ounce, so it has some heft to it. Great gift for a man.

Lapis is often mistaken for Sodalite. That is because Lapis is largely comprised of sodalite. The difference is that it also contains lazurite, calcite and pyrite.
Lapis needs to be exposed to midday sun for 20 minutes once a month. Either midday sun or a full moon for 20 minutes (or longer).
